For 18 years, U.S. Army veteran Juan Jasso has called the U.K. his home. So when he was riding the tram in Manchester, England on Tuesday morning, he never expected to be called a “dirty little immigrant.”

A video of three young British men insulting and threatening Jasso, who is a Mexican-American Texas-native from Brownsville, quickly spread, becoming an example of xenophobic sentiments affecting immigrants in the U.K in the days following “Brexit.”
